A leptonic love affair - e+e- colliders
• Born 1948
• The very early history (DESY-Heidelberg) 1974-1977 PhD HD
• The early history (Jade) 1977-1983 Postdoc HD
• The not so recent past (OPAL) 1984-1999 Staff CERN
• Preparing the possible future (ILC) 1998-2008 Prof HH
• Since Dec 2004 Director of Research for Particle and Astroparticle Physics

The Early Days of e+e- Physics
Is this excess real, what is it?
Everything started with a discrepancy:
1973
4
The Past and Future Role of e+e- Colliders
Rolf starts his thesis
5
The Power of e+ e- Colliders
• well defined production process, simple kinematics
• precise knowledge of quantum numbers in initial state
• energy and momentum of all partons known
• energy of system can be varied
• precise (<%) knowledge of the cross sections
• low background
• polarisation of e- and e+ beams possible

A Precise Measurement of the -Mass
W. Bartel, P. Dittmann, P. Duinker, J. Olsson, L. O'Neill, D. Pandoulas, P. Steffen, U. Fritscher, J. Heintze, G. Heinzelmann, R.D. Heuer, H. Rieseberg and A. WagnerDESY, Physikalisches Institut der Uni Heidelberg,
Thesis of Rolf: (1977)
Neutral decays of the ’ (3.7) Resonance
BR (’ -> neutral (not J/)) = (2.0 +- 0.8)10-3
m = 1.787 + 0.010 – 0.018 GeV
From a fit to the energy dependence of the cross section
Today: m = 1776.69 +- 0.18 +– 0.15 MeV

Detector and Measurement

Construction started in 1976 thanks to H. Schopper and G.A. Voss
The project advanced very fast
Construction completed in 1978, 6 months ahead of schedule
First stored beam in July 1978
Five experiments approved - CELLO, JADE, Mark J, PLUTO, TASSO
With PETRA DESY became international
PETRA Construction
Competition with SLAC (PEP)

The Detector Layout Essential features:- Large solid angle- Excellent tracking- Good energy measurement- Muon detection
11
The Proposed Physics Programme
LoI for JADE:
• Measurement of magnitude and energy dependence of hadronic cross section
• Search for new quarks and leptons (mainly top)
• Measurement of magnitude of electroweak interference
• Study of hadronic final states, prove existence or non-existence of jets
• Is QED correct at high energies?
• Study decays of heavy quarks
• Study photon-photon interactions
…but nothing about gluons
12
Discovery of Gluon
Field theory predicted that the outgoing quarks radiate field quanta (gluons)
The probability for radiation is ~ s(q2)/which at PETRA energy is ~ 10%.
13
Discovery of the Gluon
PETRA as test bed of QCD:
quarks radiate gluons
-> 3 jet events
planar events with 3-jet structure
one sided jet broadening
The quantum of the strong force was discovered and studied at a lepton collider
14
Lepton Photon Symposium 1979
All 4 PETRA experiments presented their data.
The conclusion of all four experiments (JADE, Mark J, PLUTO and TASSO) was very similar:
To cite S. Orito (JADE, Tokyo):
“Quantitative as well as qualitative properties of the planar 3-jet events agree in detail with the predictions based on the gluon bremsstrahlung process and the suggested fragmentations. This strongly suggests hard gluon bremsstrahlung as origin of the planar 3-jet events.”
Lepton-Photon Symposium, Fermilab 23– 29 August 1979

Muon Asymmetry
Interference of electromagnetic and weak interaction leads to a forward-backward asymmetry

Search for the Top Quark
Many theoretical predictions expected the top-quark to lie ‚just around the corner‘
scan for narrow resonance
as expected for udscb + QCD corr.

… to join OPAL at LEP
• Detector pictures
23
OPAL – Main Physics Aims (from LoI 1982)
• Observation of Z0 (mass, BR, width …)• Measure number of generations• Test of SM
– Precise study of electroweak interference– Weak decays of heavy quarks– Search for the Higgs
• Search for new physics– New flavours– New heavy leptons– Supersymmetry – Technicolour
• Study of QCD

Electroweak Precision Tests
The SM is tested to unprecedented accuracy
No deviations observed
precision data tell us something about mass range not accessible today
30
Search for the Top Quark
Indirect determination of the top mass
possible due to
• precision measurements
• known higher order electroweak corrections

The possible future

A memorable event

The TESLA Project
Superconducting electron-positron linear collider
with
integrated X-ray laser

The Key Questions of Particle Physics
• What is matter ?• What are the forces ?• Can quantum physics and general relativity be united?• What happened in the very early universe ?
Where do the experimental answers lie?• At highest energies Large Hadron Collider construction finished at CERN
• In precision measurements Electron-Positron Collider TESLA project -> ILC
Physics and experience teach us that we need these different tools to answer these questions and that they complement each other

Extra Spatial Dimensions
Emission of gravitons into extra dimensions
+ emission of (or one jet)
measurement of cross sections at different energies allows to determine number and scale of extra dimensions

•In how many dimensions do we live?

The Site Preparation
Two independent radiological evaluations
Preparation of environmental impact study
Agreement between the states Schleswig-Holstein and HH for joint legal procedure
Regular information of all persons living along TESLA
Preparation of “Planfeststellung”
Research Campus Ellerhoop
38
TESLA … followed by the ILC
• After the decision of the German Government to build the XFEL and PETRA and to support DESY in the further preparation of the ILC, Rolf was active in many ways in promoting the ILC:
– Leading the parameter group of the ILCSC– Leading a very thriving group at the University of HH
and DESY– Organising LCWS 2007– Giving many talks– Helping build the bridge to CLIC– Etc., etc.
– Driving a car with the number plate HH-LC …..

Good by and good Luck – the end of a love affair?
